It was a bumpy road to retirement for Nao Kakuta. A back injury ended up cancelling some of her final matches in order to give her enough recovery time to make today happen. But it did take place and everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro made sure to make the match a memorable one for Kakuta. When she and her opponent Mizuki kept pulling at each other’s hair. Mizuki complained that Kakuta always breaks the rules and will be a bad guy until the very end. Mizuki and the seconds at ringside then chased Kakuta out of the room. When they returned, the entire roster joined the chase into the ring. Mizuki then led the entire roster into a Train attack on Kakuta in the corner. This included the injured Haruna Neko and Hyper Misao both being carried along so they could be part of it too. Tetsuya Koda was also forced to join in but Kakuta blocked his attack with a Big Boot. The match went back to being just Kakuta versus Mizuki. Kakuta was almost counted out at one point but was able to fight back until Mizuki pinned her with the Cutie Special.

The two hugged each other after the match. Kakuta told everyone that when she was injured, Mizuki cried because it upset her so much. Kakuta cried too and was happy that there was someone else crying for her. That’s why she is happy her last match was against Mizuki. The graduation ceremony had Kakuta receive gifts and goodbyes from Tae Honma, Miyuki Takase, Momo Tani, Arisu Endo and Yuki Kamifuku. Kakuta gave her speech and said she was able to wrestle for 9 years because of everyone who supported her and cheered her on. Thanks to TJPW she fell in love with wrestling even more. Her advice for when something bad happens is to come see TJPW because everyone here will make you happy. She said everyone in the audience and watching at home are all her life’s treasures. The ten bell salute was given and she was announced as “Rat Chaser” Nao Kakuta for the final time.
